How the ban on lion hunt killed the lions

When it comes to animals, people’s behaviour is usually driven by their emotions, instead of facts and knowledge – it’s a behavior that can result in the exact opposite of what was intended.

There is no picture perfect or black and white – conservation is usually a choice between two evils. A choice that can either save some of the world’s most iconic animals – or lead to their extinction.

After working with the big cats in Southern Africa, Mikkel Legarth from Denmark co-founded Modisa Wildlife Project – a project that wants to define new standards on how we feel, think and act with regards to conservation.

Opposing forces are at the core of all energy and evolution. Plus and minus, high and low, pros and cons. Our identities and societies are created in a constant flux of motion, opinion, reflection and we find new paths forward, but mostly when opposing forces demand us to reflect – or to deflect.On September 26th, 2013 we’ll be opening the doors to this year’s main event where we’ll be presenting more great ideas worth sharing.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxCopenhagen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxCopenhagen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
